Objective To construct and implement a swallowing disorder assessment and management program for tracheal intubated patients after extubation based on the 4R crisis management theory,providing standardized and scientific interventions for oral feeding.Methods Utilizing the expert meeting method with the 4R crisis management theory framework,a swallowing disorder assessment and management program was developed for post-extubation tracheal intubated patients.A convenience sampling method was employed to select patients with tracheal intubations treated from July to December 2023 in the emergency ICU,central ICU,and cardiovascular surgery ICU of a tertiary hospital in Zhejiang Province.The patients treated from October to December were assigned to an experimental group(n=68),while those treated from July to September were designated as a control group(n=58).The experimental group received the 4R crisis management-based intervention,whereas the control group received standard ICU assessment and management.Outcomes indicators included the incidence of post-extubation swallowing disorders,time to first oral intake,incidence of aspiration during initial feeding,nasogastric and nasointestinal tube placement duration,incidence of aspiration pneumonia during hospitalization,re-intubation rates,ICU readmission rates,ICU stay duration,and total hospitalization days.Results Of the initially recruited subjects,68 in the experimental group and 54 in the control group were included in the final analysis.After the intervention,the experimental group exhibited significantly lower rates of post-extubation swallowing disorders,shorter time to first liquid oral intake,aspiration incidence during first feeding,shorter durations of nasogastric and nasointestinal tube placement,aspiration pneumonia,ICU readmission compared to the control group(P＜0.05).No significant differences were observed between the groups in time to first regular oral intake,re-intubation rates(P＞0.05).Conclusion The risk management program for dysphagia following tracheal extubation based on the 4R crisis management theory is scientifically robust and safe,offering a valuable reference for clinical assessments and management of swallowing and eating post-extubation in tracheal intubated patients.

Objective:To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of fuzuloparib for the treatment of ovarian epithelial cancer patients in the real world setting.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the baseline data of 4 620 ovarian cancer patients who had received fuzuloparib monotherapy or combination therapy. Another 224 ovarian cancer patients who were willing to receive fuzuloparib monotherapy or combination therapy were prospectively enrolled, and their baseline characteristics, drug effectiveness, and safety data were analyzed.Results:(1) Among the 4 620 patients in the retrospective cohort, the median age of patients was 60 years; tumor types: 89.8% (4 149/4 620) had ovarian cancer. Among patients with clearly documented information, the vast majority had a histological type of serous carcinoma (82.9%, 3 770/4 546) and International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging of Ⅲ-Ⅳ (90.9%, 1 537/1 691). (2) Among the 224 patients in the prospective cohort, the median age of patients was 57 years; tumor types: 83.9% (188/224) had ovarian cancer. Among patients with clearly documented records, the predominant pathologic type was serous carcinoma (91.9%, 193/210), and FIGO stage was Ⅲ-Ⅳ in 79.9% (139/174). (3) Among the 224 prospective patients: 84 patients received first-line fluzoparib maintenance therapy, 92 patients received fluzoparib maintenance therapy after platinum-sensitive recurrence, 23 patients received direct fluzoparib treatment after platinum-sensitive recurrence, 19 patients received direct fluzoparib treatment after platinum-resistant recurrence. The median follow-up durations were 8.5, 8.7, 7.9, and 6.7 months, respectively. The median durations of fluzoparib treatment were 6.7, 4.8, 3.1, and 1.9 months, respectively. The median progression-free survival (PFS) times were not reached during follow-up, 12.6 months, not reached during follow-up, and 4.8 months, respectively. The 1-year PFS rates were 84.1%, 55.0%, 69.8%, and 45.5%, respectively. The remaining 6 patients received other fluzoparib regimens. (4) Among the 224 patients in the prospective dataset, 205 had safety data recorded. Of these, 127 patients (62.0%, 127/205) experienced treatment-related adverse events, with common events including anemia (24.4%, 50/205), thrombocytopenia (21.0%, 43/205), and leukopenia (19.5%, 40/205). Among the 205 patients, 43 (21.0%, 43/205) experienced grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events, with common events including anemia (8.3%, 17/205) and thrombocytopenia (8.3%, 17/205).Conclusions:The effectiveness of fuzuloparib in clinical application is generally consistent with other drugs in the same class, with good safety. This study provids new clinical evidence for the treatment of ovarian cancer with fuzuloparib.

Macrophages play a pivotal role in host defense against Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb) infection. Their metabolic processes and metabolites are essential for maintaining immune homeostasis, responding to invading pathogens, and orchestrating subsequent immune responses. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of macrophage metabolic reprogramming during Mtb infection is critical for deciphering the intricate mechanisms underlying the host immune response against tuberculosis. This review summarizes recent advances in how macrophages regulate immune responses through core metabolic pathways, including glucose metabolism, oxidative phosphorylation, lipid metabolism, and amino acid metabolism, in the context of Mtb infection. The insights provided here offer new perspectives and potential strategies for future tuberculosis prevention and targeted therapy.

Objective:To explore the association between the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and obesity metabolic phenotypes, as well as metabolic features in children and adolescents.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted using the random cluster sampling method from March 2023 to May 2024. Children and adolescents aged 9-17 years in Guangzhou were surveyed through questionnaires, physical measurements, and blood tests. According to BMI and metabolic status, participants were classified into normal-weight groups [metabolically healthy normal weight (MHNW) and metabolically unhealthy normal weight (MUNW)] and overweight/obese groups [metabolically healthy overweight/obese (MHO/O) and metabolically unhealthy overweight/obese (MUO/O)]. After natural log-transformation of SII values (lnSII), multinomial logistic regression was used to assess the association between SII and obesity metabolic phenotypes, while binary logistic regression was applied to assess the relationship between SII and metabolic phenotypes in the overweight/obese subgroup. Linear regression model and restricted cubic spline (RCS) were employed to examine the relationship between SII and metabolic features among the entire population.Results:A total of 3 749 participants were included. After adjusting for covariates, for every unit increase in lnSII, the risk of MHO/O and MUO/O increased by 93% ( OR=1.93, 95% CI: 1.56-2.40, P<0.001) and 156% ( OR=2.56, 95% CI: 2.02-3.25, P<0.001), respectively. In the overweight/obesity subgroup, for every unit increase in lnSII, the risk of MUO/O increased by 37% ( OR=1.37, 95% CI: 1.01-1.87, P=0.045). Linear regression model and RCS showed that lnSII was positively correlated with systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (SBP: β=1.39, 95% CI: 0.67-2.11, P<0.001; DBP: β=1.27, 95% CI: 0.79-1.75, P<0.001). lnSII also had a non-linear relationship with triglyceride ( Pnonlinear=0.032) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( Pnonlinear=0.002). Conclusion:Elevated SII levels are associated with unfavorable obesity metabolic phenotypes, higher blood pressure, and altered lipid profiles in children and adolescents. SII may be a potential driving factor for metabolic heterogeneity in children and adolescents.
